A NICE QUESTION OF Law.
Of Money...Suicide-.
Suit to Recover.

Suit to Recover.
Abbeville will furnish the Courts an inter-
esting ca Sc, the following being some Of the
particulars:
In March T. P. Quarles of Abbeville, fur
nished price list for corn of w. ]. Ayers of
Kansas City. A. NJ. Hill &; Sons and p. Ros-
enberg & Co.. each ordered car load OF corn
through Mr.. Quarles's agency. In due time
INVOICES were received: and drafts and ~ bills
lection. The purchasers refused payment, for
the reason that the corn had not arrived.
Later the Abbeville Bank received telegram
from the Corn Exchange Bank of Chicago.
Ing as to the fate of the drafts. Payment
then being urged, sight OF the drafts and
bills Of lading we're demanded. The bills Of
"W. j. Ayers: Deliver Corn Ex. Bank, or
order. upon payment Of draft attached. r.
r. S. Parker & Co. Signed w. J. Ayers.
Draft endorsed: Pay Corn Exchange Bank
or order. r. S. Parker e. Co.
The draft was further endorsed:
Chicago, iii. Frank w. smith, Cashier"
The purchasers being satisfied with the en-
dorsements, the drafts were paid, although
the corn had not come.
Mr.. Quarles received a dispatch from Ayers,
stating that the corn was lost, and if the drafts
and bills Of lading were returned ne would
refund the money. Drafts and bills Of lading
were sent, but were returned with the infor-
nation that Ayers had committed suicide,
and that no one was authorized to pay them.
Information was received from the railroad
agent that that the bills Of lading were
forgerles, and that similar forgeries by Ayers
had come to light.
The Corn Exchange Bank OF Chicago was
notified Of the forgerieE, and the AbbeYille
Bank drew on that Bank for the amount OF
the drafts.
Payment was refused, and on erroneous
statement Of facts was given by the Cashier OF
the Corn Exchange Bank.
All the papers connected with the matter
have been sent to party in Chicago to col
lect the money, with Instructions, If payment
was still refused, to institute suit for the
money. -
Messrs. P. Rosenberg & Co. and A. NJ. Hill
r. Sons are each out OF pocket in the sum OF
$500
The above facts were stated to the NcW York
Journal of Commerce, with request for an
opinion as to whom Messrs. p. Rosenberg &
Co. and A. NJ. Hill & Sons might look for
their money in case the bills Of lading were
forgeres. In reply to this, the opinion was
expressed that the Corn Exchange Bank was
liable, even If the corn had never been
shipped.

Judge Fraser Gives the Supreme
Court an Opinion.

The case of George r. Sibley & Co. against
Mrs. Sarah E. Parks and others. which was
heard by Judge Fraser at the February Term
OF the Court for this county has just been de.
cided by him in favor OF the plaintiffs. The
plaintiffs were represented by Messrs. Hen
by Messrs. Graydon & Graydon and w. G.
Benet.
Mrs. Parks interposed two defences to the
action. First, that the mortgage was given to
to be brought against her stepson Thomas n.
Parks, who was a member OF the firm OF
Smith, Parks & Co., whose note the mortgage
was given to secure. Her second defense was
that she was married woman and didn't
have the power to give mortgage to secure
the debt of another person. The Presiding
Judge overruled both Of these defenses and
gave Judgment for the foreclosure of the
mortgage The attorneys for Mrs. Parks will
carry the case to the Supreme Court.

A Life of Trust.

Do not dwell upon remote events; this anX-

A Gfe of faith produces two things. First,
it enables us to see God In everything. Sec
ondly, II holds the mind in state OF readi.
ness for Whatever be His will. We must trust
TO God for whatever depends upon Him, and

peace and acquiescencc Of the soul In w.iht-
ever may happen, is the true, silent martyr,

internal that they who experience II are hard

OF any blessing He can replace IL, either by
other instruments or by Himself. Sufficient

A MORE PLEASING SIDE OF THE PICTURE.
The Carolina, Cumberland Gap and
Chicago Railroad.
[AMeville Citizcn.l

ASHepltte CltzcTt
The surveying party of this line under
charge Of Capt Kirk reached Asheyille on
Monday evening, encamping on the F'rench
Broad, opposite the depot. The grades of the
line prove to be considerably lighter than was
expected, and the average cost per mile vii
fall below the original estimates of the capi-
talists. Liberal allowances had been made for
the nature of the ground over which the road
was to be run, but the mountain features are
not so formidable rs they were believed.
There Is now q reasonable assumption, since
erroneous conceptions OF the difficulty OF the
work have been removed, that the enterprise
will now take definite shape, and the road be
built.
The line crosses the Blue Ridge through the
Estatoe Gap, at the head of the middle fork Of
the French Broad. There was no grade heaV-
Ter than rs feet to the mile; after crossing the
mountains the grade does not exceed 6S feet
to the mile The line leaves the river beyond
Brevard, and comes down the Bolston valley,
closely skrting the valuable gold and iron
mines that lie at the base of, and touching the
river at points where the mountains close In,
as Mt Sandy Bottom.
Engineer corps, in the same interest, are Mt
work in Tennessee and Kentucky, and as soon
as their work is done, which will be within
two months, definite action Will be taken
looking 10 the commencement Of the work.
The estimates and calculations for the work
have not yet been concluded
